POOR COUNTRY ROADS.


~
Every Rural Com m unity.
1t is. indeed. matter Of surprise
that. with our rapid progress and inn
proved methods in other directions. we
should still adhere TO the ways Of our
grandfathers in the matter Of keeping
our country roads in repair. Any one
who has occasion to travel much by
horse and wagon between our villages
knows in what disgraceful state our
country roads are often found. This
is especially the case in the early
spring and after the farmers have
'sworked out" their road tax by con-
verting the once passable highway into
a rough, uneven ridge Of hummocks
and sod.
The fact Is that bodybuilding and
road-rcpairing is science. and an inn
portant science, too; and II II Is ridic-
ulous that work Of such practical inn
portance should be intrustcd to men
who. however skilled and successful
they may be in their own department
Of industry. know little Of the princi-
pies Of surveying or scientific road
making. and whose only idea Of repair
ing roadway is to pile lot Of dirt ia
the middle OF the highway, until II be-
comes ridge Of soil along the narrow
surface Of which teams have to pick
their way. looking out for places TO
pass other teams without danger Of
upsetting. 1t is false economy that
makes 50 many Of our rural commune
ties content to get along with poor
roads so long As they can save . few
cents on the grand list Think Of the
waste in horschesh. in the wear and
tear Of vehicles in time and
energy. which the saving at the spigot
brings about. Permanent good roads.

DROWNING AT NEWPORT.
II. w. Ru1e, An Expert Swimmer

n. w. Ru1e, An Expert Swimmer
Drowned i'm the Breakers.
The melancholy news reached the
city yesterday evening that Thomas
w. Rule had been drowned at New
port. The deceased was going in a
boat over the bar when the little craft
capsized, and he was plunged into the
breakers, from which he failed to rise
to the surface. This seems strange, as
he was a very athletic man in the
prime Of life, about 35 years of age,
and a very fine swimmer.
In all probability the boat struck
him on the head and stunned him 80
that he drowned Immediately. Some
of his friends presumed that a shark
caught hold Of him and pulled him
under, but that is not probable, as
sharks are not likely to sail in the
sea that prevails ON the bar. Mr..
Rule had charge Of Robert McFadden's
lumber business at Newport and was
probably taking soundings on the bar,
which is continually shifting, to ascer-
tain the proper channel for vessels to
enter. He was native of Wisconsin,
and a man Of great physical strength.
He has been occupied at Wilmington
~ steamship agent, and at Newport
as agent for the McFadden Brothers.
In 1886 he lived in this city and was
by J. F. Holbrook. About
eight years ago he married Miss Helen
Cobler, sister OF Frank Cobler, of this
city. and leaves her a widow with two
children. More particulars will be re-
ceived from Newport to-day.
